Hi Alfred:

 I previewed the pdf file and it looked fine. I also printed hardcopies of 
both the the documents you enclosed and they are fine. All the words 
printed out and nothing was missing. It's true that Kword will not print 
preview the *.kwd doc correctly. I am using Koffice 1.1.1 on KDE 2.2.2 
with Qt-2.3.1. 
 I checked at distrowatch and I see that RedHat 7.2 comes with the older 
Koffice 1.1. You may need to update. Please check the 
http://www.koffice.org web page for installation instructions. The RedHat 
7.2 binaries for Koffice1.1.1 are here:
